Explore Hierarchical Data with Sunburst Charts

June 25, 2026
LightningChart JS v8.3 introduces Sunburst charts, enabling intuitive exploration of hierarchical data with clear multi level part to whole insights.

LightningChart JS is a high-performance JavaScript charting library that utilizes WebGL rendering and GPU acceleration to deliver exceptional performance for a wide range of data visualization needs. It is designed to handle large datasets and complex visualizations with ease, enabling developers to create interactive and visually appealing 2D and 3D charts. Ideal for applications demanding smooth real-time data updates, such as financial platforms, engineering tools, scientific research dashboards, and industrial monitoring systems, LightningChart JS provides a comprehensive API for customization and integration into web-based projects.

The LightningChart JS v8.3 update introduces Sunburst charts, enabling developers to visualize hierarchical data in a compact and intuitive format that clearly represents part to whole relationships across multiple levels. By displaying nested categories as proportionally sized segments within concentric rings, the chart makes it easier to analyze complex data structures, compare contributions at different hierarchy levels, and identify patterns or dominant categories without requiring multiple visualizations. This helps developers deliver more informative data exploration experiences in applications that rely on organizational, financial, operational, or other structured datasets.

To see a full list of what's new in v8.3, see our release notes.

LightningChart JS is licensed per developer and is available as an annual license with 1 year support. See our LightningChart JS licensing page for full details.

Add Spreadsheet Columns Without Disrupting Data

June 23, 2026
Easily add columns on demand to accommodate new data points, calculations, and reporting needs within existing worksheets.

Inserting columns is a fundamental spreadsheet capability that allows users to add new columns at any position within a worksheet without disrupting existing data. This feature helps accommodate changing requirements, making it easier to expand datasets, introduce new calculations, capture additional information, and reorganize content while maintaining the overall structure of the spreadsheet.

Several React spreadsheet controls offer the ability to insert columns, including:

  • SpreadJS allows users to insert one or more columns before or after a selected column through its spreadsheet interface and API, automatically adjusting formulas, references, and worksheet structure as needed.
  • Jspreadsheet Pro provides interactive column insertion directly within the grid, enabling users to add columns dynamically while preserving existing data and supporting further customization through its JavaScript API.
  • KendoReact Spreadsheet includes column insertion capabilities that mirror familiar desktop spreadsheet experiences, allowing users to add new columns through the user interface while maintaining workbook consistency and updating related spreadsheet elements.
  • Infragistics Ignite UI for React Spreadsheet supports inserting columns within worksheets through both user interactions and programmatic control, ensuring that data layouts can be expanded while preserving formulas, formatting, and spreadsheet integrity.
